The site, which closed in 2001, may return to life as part of Minnesota's first copper-nickel mine, owned by PolyMet Mining Corp. The contentious copper-nickel mine in northeastern Minnesota took another step forward Friday, Jan. 5, 2018, when state regulators released a crucial draft permit for public comment.
